This new season brings us a healthy dose of New Balance styles combining a massive drop of Made In England styles, anniversary reissues and pack based tastes with the common theme of quality through each composition.

Kicking things off with a subtle yet impactful dose of minimalism is the recent addition to the New Balance lifestyle family in the 247v2, already offering up a second edition to the popular silhouette. This ‘Gelato’ pack offering brings a tonal marzipan and sea salt colour combo to the upper of the 247, placing a super soft and supple nubuck materialization to the sweet tones of marzipan, easily displaying it’s gelato credentials. Even with outsourced construction, the quality is still there to rival the Made In England & America models.

Speaking of quality, it’s a testament to a shoe’s defining legacy when we’re treated to its original composition being remade 30 years after inception. The 574, thought to be the quintessential New Balance running silhouette, has had the OG treatment with a painstakingly faithful recreation of the original 574 colourway, updating the pair ever so slightly to reflect it’s reissue and also a time capsule like approach, the update comes in the form of golden branding and detailing to the tongue and heel, with a spectacular design of the rubber sole, coloured with a swirling marble effect to symbolise the originals aging, all packaged in the original box design. With the initial offerings of the reissue being kept to friends and family, we’re happy to offer this pair up with a generous run of sizes.

The big drop, in both size and stature, is the selection of New Balance M991.9, M1500.9 and M991.5 via the crafting geniuses of the heralded New Balance Flimby Factory. With a double dose of M991.5s, there are two distinct avenues to take with each pair. The M991.5 landing in a classic New Balance tonal grey brings a minimal colourway to the handcrafted upper, mixing a luxury selection of pigskin suedes and mesh resting on the low profile 1500 encap sole. Stitched branding locates itself in the medial area of the shoe, finished with the token big N branding in a reflective and tonal grey. Sharing a like for like construction is the M991.5 in a brown and beige combo. Where the tonal construction of its fellow release lends a subtle look, this earthy inspiration to the colour palette is a bold but brilliant construction, adding a gum sole and accompanying rust suede detailing, alongside the brown and beige base. It’s a versatile pack for any outfit.

Flipping the former mash-up on its head, the M1500.9 offers the same unparalleled construction, with a 1500 upper and the chunky sole of the 990v3. Constructed virtually identical to the aforementioned M991.5 with pig suede and mesh uppers, the trail running sole courtesy of encap gifts the hybrid a unique design similar to the high fashion running shoe craze of late.

The final offering from the collection comes in the form of the M991.9 ‘Caviar & Vodka’, dressed in a militant black and olive. New Balance presents a pack themed around the Russian delicacies of ‘Premium Caviar & Vodka’ that lends luxury to this decadent affair. The upper comes draped in premium pig suede and pebble-grain leather overlays that provide contrasting textures to a complimentary colouring, the adopted 990 lower register blends white and cream on the encap midsole with a gum colouring to the sole. Cream detailing to the branding and grey eyelets complete this luxury offering.

As it comes, this multiple release from New Balance could be the most extravagant and well composed yet with something available for every New Balance fan.
